"Why do you say that Professor Dumbledore is seeking death?"
When Sean's voice fell, the noisy principals in the past suddenly stopped talking, and the wall instantly became quiet.
While Phineas pretended to have a glass of red wine swirling around in his hand, Delise Devante, the former headmistress of Hogwarts and a renowned healer, simply left the frame, presumably to go to St. Mungo's.
The mural of the Magic Hospital.
Armando Dippet, who couldn't let it slip, was currently glaring at Sean. He seemed to realize that the young man was deceiving himself by pretending to be rude.
"Please, tell me why." Sean asked again.
The principals were silent. After a while, Armando Dippet said unhappily: "It's not good for you to know too much."
"If you hadn't let it slip—" Phineas remarked bitterly.
"Shut up—" Dumbledore's former headmaster yelled at Phineas, and then continued with an ugly expression, "Child, you should go back."
Sean did not leave. Instead, he moved a stool and sat directly in front of the wall displaying the principal's portrait.
"Mr. Principal, Madam Principal, in your eyes, I am a student still studying at Hogwarts, a child - I have always respected my elders, especially you, who have made great contributions to Hogwarts.
This castle stands here and endures for a long time, which is the best proof - so I can understand your thoughts. Students need to be protected and children need to be avoided. This is not because you look down on a child, but
It is your greatest kindness and desire to protect you as an elder, which impressed and moved me."
After a series of sincere words, the principals looked much better, especially Armando Dippet, who had been annoyed with Sean for deceiving him. He liked this feeling of being sincerely praised, especially if the other person was
An outstanding student of Hogwarts, this is the greatest recognition for his former headmaster.
Sean looked more and more sincere. He took a deep breath and continued: "I believe that Professor Dumbledore thinks the same way. He is not only a powerful wizard, but also the most kind elder I have ever seen——
"
The principals all nodded, and even an old gentleman in medieval robes hammered his chest hard.
Sean's tone changed and became serious.
"You know Professor Dumbledore better than I do, and you also know the truth of the things that I can't know better. But - even I, who is trapped outside the truth of the matter, know that Professor Dumbledore is working too hard. He is a
People do too many things, and I think you can feel it more..."
In the portraits, many people sighed, and the expressions on their faces looked regretful and heartbroken.
"As a student, if I were to point out a shortcoming of Professor Dumbledore, it would be that he was trying to carry too many things - too many things that he could not speak to anyone other than you.
He was running around day and night, so much that he couldn't even think more about himself."
"Gentlemen and ladies, principal -" Sean showed a faint smile, "Do you know that Professor Dumbledore has not been reunited with his family for a long time, and even his sister is still trapped in a place that I can't
Where he learned about it - but everything he did was not for himself. He wanted Hogwarts to remain standing, he wanted the children to be safe and explore magic freely, and he wanted the people in Diagon Alley to be safe.
With a smile, I want the world to become a better place..."
Under Sean's infectious speech, all the principals sighed, and some showed pride on their faces. He was proud that he and Dumbledore were in the same position.
"If I didn't know all this, I might not do anything. I would study step by step, at least not wasting the peaceful time that everyone here and Professor Dumbledore have accumulated, because I feel that people with Professor Dumbledore,
The world will indeed get better..."
"But -" Sean changed the topic, his eyes were a little red, "You tell me, he will die, he is dying?! In a better world, Albus Dumbledore will not appear, only Albus Dumbledore will appear.
There is a white tomb, which contains his favorite wizard robes and wizard candies, his wand, and his body that will never wake up - and then carves on the cold marble the words belonging to Albus.
Dumbledore's honor is for those who come after him, and for children like me to look up to and admire him as their own role model."
"Posterity will pass on word of mouth, the great Albus Dumbledore...but he can't see it himself?" Sean looked directly at everyone in the portrait, even Phineas's eyes were wandering
He became uncertain and did not dare to look at Sean.
"And all this is because Professor Dumbledore has taken on too much and is unwilling to let his child get involved in those things - even if the child has strong strength and a mature mind?"
"As a former manager of an educational institution like a school, I believe everyone here understands better than I do that many things cannot be solved alone. Otherwise, why would there be a school? Everyone is looking for a place on their own just like they did before the Middle Ages.
A good child educates him, and then your student goes on to do what you once did - isn't it because wizards have become better because [collectives] like Hogwarts appear more often?"
"There is no doubt that Professor Dumbledore is powerful, but you know better than me that there are some things that he cannot bear alone."
As if answering Sean and answering himself, Armando Dippet said loudly with some annoyance: "That was Albus's own choice! That is the glory of a wizard, for a better world,
He is willing to sacrifice his life, and this is not something that others have the position to stop - and why don't you think about it, there are some things that only he can do?!"
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "Is it the only way?" Sean stood up and looked directly at everyone, "Professor Dumbledore's greatest strength is also his greatest weakness - he
Too kind, and he always wants to take care of everything! Hold down the overwhelming curtain for others first! Gentlemen and ladies, ask yourselves, if more people were involved, Gellert Grindelwald, Aberforth Dun
Bledo, Minerva McGonagall...and so on, and me! Will all this make the burden on his shoulders lighter, or maybe..."
He took a deep breath: "Or maybe, Dumbledore can see that better world with his own eyes?!"
The portraits fell completely silent. Some of them leaned on the edge of the canvas and remained silent, some opened and closed their mouths and cursed secretly, and some kind ladies secretly wiped away their tears.
This made Sean completely sure that Dumbledore was on a road to death!
Delise Devante, who returned to the canvas at some point, sighed. This lady's voice was reassuring, but it contained a lot of helplessness.
"Children, we are not ghosts, let alone living people. We just rely on magical magic and the portraits left by Hogwarts' natural magical position - we have consciousness and memory, but there is only one meaning of our existence, that
It is to provide all possible help to the current principal - this means that all our actions must be based on the will of the current principal of Hogwarts, which cannot be resisted, and we are proud of it."
Sean lowered his head in disappointment: "Madam, is there no possibility of being a little accommodating? I can really help Professor Dumbledore, and as a person in the prophecy, I should also have some rights to know, right?
"
"But-" Delise Devante looked troubled.
Phineas was sulking alone there, smashing a red wine glass he had brought from nowhere. Armando Dippet was sighing with his hands on his hips, looking at each other across the canvas with the other principals.
Sean was silent for a moment, and then he asked in a serious tone: "It's okay if you can't tell me the truth. Then I have a question -"
"Excuse me, child." Delise Devante said softly.
"Professor Dumbledore, is he certain to die?"
No one answered, but the person in the portrait didn't smile at all.
Sean took a deep breath. He seemed to be asking himself questions or talking to the portraits: "According to my current understanding, the biggest bondage on Professor Dumbledore is the Unbreakable Oath, which he voluntarily set.
, and he did a lot of things I don’t know with this layout. Normally, this would not lead to his death. He has the ability to bypass the oath to a certain extent, and he doesn’t like to put his life in the hands of others.
superior."
"The thing that allows Professor Dumbledore to die peacefully... This must be something he did voluntarily. He must have thought about it carefully and then found that there is no better solution. Moreover, his death must bring huge consequences."
Change and decisive role - and now there is a hidden danger that has no clue at all but will explode and destroy the entire world..."
Sean raised his head and said in a deep voice: "It's me, you all know the prophecy, you know the guilt in my body - I at least have some clues about other things, Professor Dumbledore will also reveal some information to me in a roundabout way.
I. Only guilt. Professor Dumbledore only told me the specific content of the prophecy and how to solve the guilt. He never took any action of substantive significance - it has been several years since I learned about the prophecy.
It only takes more than a year for the guilt to fully awaken."
"This is not Professor Dumbledore's style -" Sean narrowed his eyes, "You were all present when Professor Dumbledore informed me of the prophecy in this office..."
He suddenly raised his head: "Either, there is a chill hidden in that prophecy that I don't know about, or... the professor hid part of the prophecy from me. There is also a paragraph in that prophecy, right?! There is something involved in this, right?
Dumbledore’s death!”
The portraits looked at each other in a panic, but no one spoke.
However, their silence is the best answer.
That prophecy was partially hidden by Dumbledore, and Dumbledore discovered through his own research that the hidden part could only be solved through his death?!
"The prophets fell one by one, the saints born of the dark children fought for their lives with the queen of the island, the giants stood up one after another and then fell dormant, the smoke filled the earth -"
"Stupid and meaningless battles angered unknown beings, ancient characters stung the world, and guilt was born from the darkness——"
"After raging with anger and arrogance, he sank into prison. He will sleep for a thousand years..."
"When the thousand years are over, the sins will be released from prison. He comes incarnate. The seven sins are headed by pride. They grow, they wake up, and they destroy - the old era is burned away, and the decoration of the new era is used.
The blood of millions of people——"
"If we want to wipe away the blood, the old times will have to bear harsh punishments, and sins will turn into virtues——"
"Those awakened ancients offer their souls, and those corrupt people of the old era offer their blood. 'Pride' will forgive the sins of the world, humbly and kindly accept those evil deeds -"
This is all part of the prophecy that Sean keeps in mind.
But now it seems that part of the prophecy was hidden by Dumbledore. This part may involve the solution to the prophecy of annihilation. This path requires the sacrifice of people like Dumbledore to achieve it?
Sean's brain was constantly working, and he was trying to analyze Dumbledore's ultimate goal now.
There are currently three major dilemmas. First, the attention of the world's will brought about by Grindelwald's time travel accident will be solved in the near future. Secondly, the origins of the returnees who are ready to move are unclear, and their purpose seems to be to make the entire world
The world becomes more chaotic, or the leader of the returnees that Sean guessed truly returns to the real world, that is, the "Bard". Finally, there are the existence of seven sins, among which Sean's [arrogance]
First of all, when [Arrogance] completely awakens, the prophecy will be officially established and the world will become purgatory.
Among them, there is a certain connection between the returnees and the guilt - Dumbledore also gained a certain degree of trust from the returnees...
He wants to solve the hidden dangers of the returnees and the advent of the Seven Sins at the same time?
Can these two be linked together and solved at the same time?!
Sean thought about many possibilities, but after all, there was insufficient information to draw an accurate conclusion.
This is not the situation he wants.
It was obviously impossible for the principals in the portrait to provide any more information. Sean left a message, "Please think carefully about what I said," and then quickly left the principal's office.
After he left, the principals looked at each other wordlessly across the canvas, and in the end there was only a long sigh accompanied by the steam rising from the silverware.
After leaving the office, Sean opened the wooden door of the Room of Requirement again. To his surprise, there was someone in the room - Professor Dumbledore.
I actually didn't notice the other party's appearance due to my own authority, but that's just right!
Sean took a step forward: "Professor!"
Dumbledore shook his head: "Please listen to me, Sean, please give an old man with one foot in the grave a little time."
Sean's mouth moved twice, and finally fell silent.
Dumbledore smiled gently, easily took the two cushions, sat down, and patted the cushions beside him.
"Maybe it's time for me to talk to you about something."
